Hello, TWINS!

Hello, TWINS!

“TWO! WHAT? No way…this can’t be real.” And yet, there they were: two perfect babies on the screen. They moved and kicked around. We had found out a few weeks prior that we were very unexpectedly expecting again. “Four?” I wondered, “the timing sure is crazy, Lord!” After all, we just moved our little family across the country, from the coastal South East to the mountainous West. I had trouble getting peace about being pregnant again so soon after having our son, Elias. We have still been adjusting and settling in out here, and now…what a ride we’ve been on in 2020! Then all of the sudden, baby #4, became #4 and #5! (To clue you guys in, twins don’t run in my family - and we were preventing at the time.)

Lee Family Session | Deer Creek Reservoir, Utah

Lee Family Session | Deer Creek Reservoir, Utah

When Taylor reached out to let me know they were visiting the Salt Lake City area, and wanted a family session during their visit, I almost fell out of my chair. Taylor and Austin were one of my early wedding couples, many, many moons ago when I photographed weddings. I LOVED their day, and kept up with them over the years via social media. It’s pretty amazing that we live in a place that so many of our east-coast friends and family want to visit! Utah is such a spectacular place. I honestly didn’t think much of it, or even have it on our list for a visit. Man, we were missing out! Back to the Lee family…it was so fun to get to meet up again to photograph Austin and Taylor, this time with their three beautiful children! The last time I had seen them was as they were leaving for their honeymoon! Much has changed. I didn’t even have any kids then either!

I love this session for many reasons, but the main one is that it’s so sentimental. I had the joy of photographing Michelle’s bridal portraits here 3 years before, and it holds many special memories. It’s impossible not to love this picturesque place. It was an honor to capture the these three before they became a family of four!

My Mom's Legacy...

My Mom's Legacy...

As many of you know, my sweet mama met Jesus almost two weeks ago on January 27th, 2020. As we all sang “Build My Life” around her bedside, (My dad, all six kids, their spouses, all the grandchildren, and even her parents via FaceTime), she left our presence and entered the fullness of the presence of God. With our hands raised and tears in our eyes, we watched her finish her course with joy as we sang. As her last breath left her, she smiled. It’s moment I will never forget. We can only imagine the incredible reward she has now, forever home in glory with the God she loved and served so faithfully.

We're Moving To Utah!

We're Moving To Utah!

Happy 2020 from the Blair family! As we start the new decade, we are also sharing some big news! We are moving to Utah as missionaries/ church planters! We’ve been working towards this since God revealed His direction for us in May 2019, and will hopefully be packing up our lives to move by May of this year.

Why Utah? Why the sudden move cross-country?

Long story short: ten years ago, we were starry-eyed newlyweds, ready to pack our few belongings, leave Dothan, and head off to seminary. As it turned out, God had a different school in mind. We felt God had plans for us to be sent somewhere for building His Kingdom, but for the time He was leading us to stay, serve, and grow. So we put down roots, invested in ministry here (specifically at Ridgecrest Baptist Church), grew in faith, and grew a family. It's been a good, sweet, fruitful ten years.
